On simplified axiomatic foundations of special relativity
Year 2010 marks the 100-th anniversary since the paper by Ignatowsky was published that was devoted to the axiomatic analysis of the special theory of relativity. Despite such a long history, the ideas put forward by Ignatowsky, and later developed by Franck and Rothe, still have not earned a proper place in the physical curriculum. As a celebration of this jubilee, we would like to draw the at...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Foundations of General Relativity Revisited
In 1880 S. Lie (1842-1899) studied the groups of transformations depending on a finite number of parameters and now called Lie groups of transformations. Ten years later he discovered that these groups are only examples of groups of transformations solutions of linear or nonlinear systems of ordinary differential (OD) or partial differential (PD) equations which may even be of high order and ar...
متن کاملQuantum Tests of the Foundations of General Relativity
A new test theory for describing tests of fundamental principles of Special and General Relativity is presented. Using a generalised Pauli equation which may be based on a generalised Dirac equation, possible violations of local Lorentz invariance and local position invariance on the quantum level are described. On the quantum level there are more possibilities to violate these principles than ...
متن کاملCultural Relativity of Moral Precepts
The foundation of most intellectual discourse is Western-centric to the exclusion of other views. This includes ideal patterns of social interaction, preference for aesthetic, accepted norms and values, and the concepts of dignity, respectability, morality and ethics. Such a position is culturally myopic. Western cultural influence colors all of them including moral precepts. The assumption is ...
متن کاملGeneral covariance and the foundations of general relativity: eight decades of dispute
Einstein offered the principle of general covariance as the fundamental physical principle of his general theory of relativity and as responsible for extending the principle of relativity to accelerated motion. This view was disputed almost immediately with the counter-claim that the principle was no relativity principle and was physically vacuous. The disagreement persists today. This article ...
